How to set yourself up for more restful sleep.

Just like a car needs gas to run, your brain needs sleep to work at its full potential. So how do you handle losing some shut eye due either to the kids' spring break or daylight saving time? Here are a few tips:

• Stick to a consistent sleep schedule. Aim to wake up at the same time, even on weekends.
• Avoid electronic devices before bed. Turn off your screens for at least 30 minutes before going to sleep.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Unwind by gently stretching, listening to soothing music or taking a warm bath or shower.
